upon obstructions of'ehy bind, intended to
screen the sale oF liquor tanegroes from the c<
observation of city officers, or any of the e'
citizens. In every case in which a retailer |
is convicted of violating the License laws, i
bis License becomes ipso facto forfe.led,;11
in addition to the heavy--fine- of $500, to [C1
which he is also subjectj nor can any Li- |
cense be re-issued tP on Individual j'&
so convicted. No Lpefsotf is allowed | i1
to retad liquors without a License, under a J?
penalty of 8500 ; nor can any retailer ctyry

be concented in more.than 6ne establish- 0

5th. "U k lt? T opinion of -the lawyers
neiully," (pariu-.ularly the more eminent
es.) that-ihe Council has a right under
j laws, thus to limit the number of Licens
V' Upon this point 1 am unable to furih
satisfactory informajionniever having
nsuited. a.lawyer on-iho subject. That the
juncil, however, has the right to restrfcf-.
s number ef Licenses, can admit of ri6
ssible doubt: seeing that-authority to
at*effect, litis been expressly conferred
tplt it Uy 'Acts of the General Assembly,
ut, even if no such authority had been
ven, 1 should have considered it it matter
itirely drscreiionury with the Council, and
lould have voted accordingly, for the rericticn
of the number. The right to grant
icenswfby no means implies un obligation
grant them to ail who may think proper
apply for th&n.' It is a mailer of expedi.
icy, merely, and jis such unquestionably
ibject to the discretionary regulation of the
irporate authorities. To suppose otherise,
is to suppose that a public body, ex essly
constituted for the good government
City, and particularly for the preserva>n
of public order and decorum, could tie
impelled, by - individuals, to pursue a
r ' war - with the
jurse ui cuuuuui, unci.*j ??i?.
iost-important objects of its own establish,
tent. Ne one, of coureo, can beWeve that
ie Legislature of the State intend id this,
:uf,t erefurc,apy Act of Assembly, author.
,'ng or requ ring Licenses to be granted,
lould be taken in connexion wj;h those
revisions ohhe Charter, which impose the
bltgfuipn of goud g vernment upon a
ouncil. Liceoses should be* granted to
ach an.extent only, nnd under such resific
ons, as mpy *b'st comport w;tt} tho'*gp?r
bject ofpreserving ihe peace, welf&ce a^d
idiarity of the community at large, and
ertainly not to such an ex eni as to toterro
m'any way, with the easy and effectual
[Klinment of those important ends. LThis
prinfciple by which I have b"en gov.
mod, individually, as a public officer, and
isjhe rule, also, by which.the present
ouacil ofCharleston has generally reguhd
its proceedings, i am nqt aware* that
rre is "any thing,?(p the A'ct of Incorporator
of any .To^n or City m th? Staie,
hieh renders it obligatory upon th{? const i?
ited authorities' to grant Licenses, indis i-ninately
to all who apply, or who can
ive the required security; and believing, an
do, there is no such provision in any such
.of, I ho'd it-10 he entirely compcti nt_ 'to
ly Crty Council, to restrict the.number;to
iy limit; whichmay, iri its judgment, lie re
ilired-by pubi c opinion, or by the general
audition of the community of which it is
trusted with the government.

lUCh difficulty in sustaining this law, lirpitrig

iit?> crroat. rlirfcntisfHrlian. to hi} sure. fO

1 pediment was opposed, or artemgted to
} Opposed, to its enforcement. Several
toilers have, left I he City, in consequence
this law, and now carry .on their operatiwm ;
i tun Neck, where they are only subject to

wed to evade the law,1>y selling secretly
ithout License. Some of these have been
tected 'and prosecuted. This pruetic",

ranpot succeed in'"Charleston, from . th?;
most inevitable certainty of discovery and*
jnisbment. * * . .
Having answered your inquiries, I begave
now to congratulate, you on-the suetss
of ycur cxcellolH*paper, which has.nlndy
effected ?t great deal of good, and is
^tioed, f trust,- to accomplish a vast* deaf*
ore, untd -the principle of Temperance
i$l! literally prevail fr om the Seaboard u>
e Monntains. I have no doubt, however;
at you find much difficulty jn.conducing
?h a paper, from the conflicting opinions
at ex'st upoft many points, even amongst
r frioods of the cause themselves. If }
u^ht be aliownhto express my opinion,' Iould*ay
that, as this enterprise is Intended
r the general benefit of the* people it
loultJ be kept entirely unconnected \\tjh
irt-xnn-politics and sectarian rehgion, and
j advocated entirely upon its^-own sepe:
te and intrinsic merit. I da a''conceive
>thiug more disastrous, to. such a cause,
ap the course which has been pursued, in
veral peftions Of the Union, of mixing it
> with other matters, afid even rendering
subsidiary to other objects. As.loffg *us
stujjds upoo its own ground, waving its
vn banner,^ and d?*pen din* exclusively
)orV its own strength and excellence, it
wilVgo on victoriously, concerting eneies,
and acquiring friends, wherefer tfie
dvocatc is road. It is fn .tlris way that
ejudices can he removed, thtf-publrc mind
lightened; .and popular opinion be so
Ought to bear-upon it, astQ'give^n Cflec-e
irumpulse to Legislative action. * As

iril popular opinion condemns it as disw

becomes "constrained, by the public

forkV?d sustained, by public feeling.?
But the time will come when tho thorough
eradication .of this evil will not only be ap.
proved, but demanded, by. tho great bo iy 1
of the people, and 'when the Legislature
will find *hat the repeal of the License laws,
nnd thevprofilbitior> of the sale of spirituous
liquors-by retail, is the most popular act it
will be in ?8 power to pass. As to nil the
sophistry' that has been urged, in relation
tQ-the consiiiutronality of such proceeding,
f liokJ hfm coatehiptiblefor argument, ?nd
utterly unworthy of serious refuth'ton. The
Constitution has nothing to do with it: it is
.'a quertiop of pol cy or expediency entirely.
Indeed, so faT from qu Atoning the right of
th^J^cgislaturelo abolish ami prohibit the
retail System, I think, if. any constitut onal
question can be made at all, it might much
moro rationally bo doubted whether it had
a consp:u ional competency to establish a
system, sofraiFgh^iojjh efti/s of the most per*
nicious charatAerl But; as it has been established,
there can be no doubt that the
Legislature has the same right to repeal and
prohibit, that--it had to ordain it; or, in o'htr
words, the same right, by law, to promote
the principles (if public decency and morality,
that it* has by law, to overrun the Siate
the great evil of Intemperance, and all its
attendant train of crimes ?nd vices. It m
not the Constitution, iherefore, that constitutes
the difficulty. That is meretya pretext
to cover the tru" reason; arid ifn; true re ?son,
is that "public opinion is not yet sufficiently
strong, or orgaoiz d, to jus'ity the measure.
Only let therr he an ascertained majority in
every District, or even in a majority of the
thu Suite, in favor ot
171311^1^1 mi vu^vvui ?!? / -w-?- ^
tho abolition-of thn'.fpftiil system, and its
days would very soon be numbered. It
wouM soon reuse to be fjuud amongst the
things sustained by law. It woukithfn be
seen that .the Constitution affords it no shelter
or protecrh)n. Tire Statute book would
be purified from it$Toulest stairj J awl whiUi.
this d-%t faying monster would thus be deprived
-of its yower -o. affl cu the G< nius of
-the Constitution would approve and ra ify^
the Act, Lei it he our great object, then,
so to ope ratupon the public mind, as to
bring popular opitvon a act effectivelyupon
tjw Legislature of the State. And, keeping
this (jbjejt s'uadily in view, let us go simpl\
for the abstract princ pie of Tempernnce
unconnected with any other inatter whatso ever
